Gintec Pro Guard for Grapes - The Quiet Solution

Stays up all year! Pro Guard is designed to stay up all year, even at
harvest. You do not have to remove and store the netting, resulting in labour
savings. Even if you decide to remove it every year, Pro Guard is easily
installed and removed compared to conventional bird netting. Ask about our
"Grape Machine".

Trains shoots! When applied early enough vines do not require tucking;
vines grow up through the center between the netting for additional labour
savings from tucking.

Improved Bird Control! Exclusion is the best single method of reducing
loss and damage due to birds on grapes. The smaller openings in our net stop
the damage due to pecking through the net compared to regular netting.

Fewer large insects and MALB! Netting makes it difficult for larger
insects to get at the grapes.

Thermal effect! In certain areas, netting can be dropped early to
create a thermal effect that puts heat into the vines earlier in the spring.

Reduced sunburn! The netting reduces the damaging effects of the sun
in high UV periods.

Improved spray coverage! The netting shatters the spray drops
deflecting them in all directions for an improved coverage area.
Vine Morphology! When netting is dropped early, vines adapt to the
netting to minimize any negative effect of the netting.

Reduced labour! Reduced tucking, the ability to leave the netting up
year round and harvesting with the netting on can reduces your labour costs.

Reduction of desease! Damaged grapes leaking into the cluster can
cause mold and disease.

Ice Wines Netting! A special Ice Wine reinforcement tape is fastened
to the bottom, holding grapes until harvest increasing yield by reducing
waste. The Ice Wine tape also allows the ability to mechanically harvest Ice
Wine at speeds over 3km/h. Less shaking is required, reducing the damage on
the plants.

The structure of the weave of our netting makes it easier to control and
easier to work with. Gintec Pro Guard is made of H.D.P.E. (High-Density
Polyethylene), 4mm x 7mm (0.157" x 0.276") mesh openings. Reinforced edges
designed to withstand top hooks and bottom staples. Standard widths available
are .8m (31") and 1.1m (43"), also, drape over if quantities warrant. The
technology is from Europe, and has been in use there for decades. Gintec Pro
Guard is U.V. resistant, tough material. With proper care netting can last 15
years or more.

"It saves the headache of installation and removal of nets. This will amount
in a labour savings as well as allowing workers to concentrate on vineyard
and maintaining vines." - Mike Burns, Carmela Estates

"Love the durability of the netting and fine enough to keep birds out. Best
netting I've seen to keep tonnages up when harvest is delayed especially for
Ice Wine." Jon Wiley, Erigan Valley Vineyards
